Data Protection Solicitor

With sincere pleasure, Sacco Mann is working alongside a Leeds institution which has an integral and highly regarded In-house legal team.

There now exists an opportunity for a UK qualified solicitor with some exposure to Data Privacy law to join the department, which can largely be worked on a remote basis if preferred.

The role will be offered on a 12 month FTC basis initially, though permanent appointment thereafter is very possible for the right candidate.

Reporting to the Senior Solicitor within the Commercial (Contracts) team and working closely alongside other members of the Legal team, particularly the Data Protection Solicitor & Deputy DPO, you will provide legal advice and assistance on a wide range of data protection matters, particularly in third party contracts.

The ideal candidate will be a commercially minded solicitor with some DP exposure and you will be responsible for advising on data protection matters in contracts and queries from a variety of business areas, working closely with senior leaders across the group providing relevant and timely legal advice on data protection law, including contract negotiation.

Qualified solicitors with some awareness of data protection laws, including drafting and reviewing data processing agreements, privacy policies, and reviewing data protection impact assessments would be welcome to apply.

This is one of the most flexible and employee-orientated businesses in the region.

The position has a salary up to £65k + comprehensive and generous benefits package.
